The customers did everything they could to avoid it, but the vendors either provided inappropriate training and support, or simply a poor quality product. Frankly, I do not think that an ERP implementation failure can possibly happen without at least some contribution from the customer. As a customer, no matter what the

In recent posts, we've learned that business software implementation failures are rampant and that the blame is all on the vendor. And though unhappy customers are suing the software vendors, little speculation is offered on the cause for the implementation failure.
So, these posts, and any others that follow, provide little insight on the learnings on the part of both the customer

Therefore, they all have something to learn from an implementation failure, which can be as important as customers recuperating their financial investment or vendors clearing their name and image. What Customers and Vendors Should Do to Learn From An Implementation Failure? Mistakes and failures are a great opportunity for people to learn, but try to tell that to a chief financial officer (CFO) or a chief executive officer (CEO) who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars,

It's scary when you think that anywhere from 40 to 80 percent (depending on who you believe) of these implementations wind up not meeting expectations. So what's the problem? You may be surprised to learn that the problem often starts long before the implementation. For

For any business, software needs exist which will prove difficult to satisfy. Application packages will have fatal flaws where they do not meet these needs. When evaluating software, start with the potential fatal flaws and continually look at the details surrounding them.

These flaws may make it difficult if not impossible for the application software to run the business.

IT projects fail regularly—considerably missing expectations, drastically overrunning budgets, significantly missing deadlines, and far too often having to be abandoned entirely. Research shows us that this is the rule, not the exception. Research also tells us why.

A study from Peerstone Research ( http://www.peerstone.com ) focuses on projects that involve application software products and external services, commonly called implementation projects. This research tells us that the number one reason for obstacles to success is that senior executives fail to lead. However, the second through seventh reasons all focus on shortcomings on the part of the software

It’s crucial to define the scope of an electronic medical system implementation, as well as to outline each stage of the project and the resources that will be needed. A failed implementation will paralyze the operational capabilities of a health care organization, but the right methodology will help ensure a successful implementation.

Electronic medical record (EMR) software uses online technology to deliver automated processes that can save health care organizations a lot of time and resources. Not only does an EMR solution reduce the amount of paper used by a health care facility (because it no longer needs to make as many copies of documents), it helps the

Ideally, your service area network (SAN) permits an uninterrupted flow of data all the time. Unfortunately, with changes to the SAN fabric—when a server comes online, or when storage ports are added—the attendant tape backups might cause a serious lapse in the flow of data. However, an interoperable solution can keep registered state change notifications (RSCNs) from making your SAN go haywire.
